Riley has grown up so much this past week. She has been potty training and it has been unreal. We got her a pink potty chair that plays music when she pees and she has pretty much potty trained herself, with very few accidents. She also has given up naps and has been down the McDonalds big slide. She is no longer a baby.
Another reason she has grown up is in these pictures I painted her nails for the first time. I did it to cover up a bruised fingernail. She kept thinking she needed a bandaid and I was worried she might get a rash, so we covered it up so she could not think about it. It was so fun and she held as still as a two year old could. She loved it and acted dainty and precious. I love having a girl, even if she does grow up too fast.
They had a section at the Marble Museum that had real tools and wood that they could saw, sand, nail, or screw into. Fortunately, they didn't have power tools, but they did have a crank screw driver. With Daddy's help, Eli was able to saw some wood and sand it.
Our family had the opportunity to go to North Carolina and visit my aunt
Nae-Nae (Gena) and her children Reed (and Brooke) and Katie. While
there, we took Nae-Nae and visited a children's museum called Marbles.
They had all sorts of fun stuff there in which the next few posts will
detail. While Eli was playing Hockey on the non-ice floor, Riley was
wearing a Tu-tu and ballet slippers dancing to different music genres.
She was a little small for the Tu-tus and she had to hold on to them to
keep it from falling off.
